Week 17: United By Blue

Summer's almost here and the great outdoors is calling. With a complete line of responsible and durable apparel, bags and accessories made with sustainable materials like organic cotton, recycled polyester and bison fiber, United By Blue believes it is our responsibility to protect the world's oceans and waterways and pledge to remove a pound of trash from them for every product they sell through company-organized cleanups. Since the company began in 2010, they've hosted 177 cleanups and removed over 1 million pounds of trash across 26 states!
